VILLAGE HALL COMMITTEE: The information regarding the members of the Village Hall Committee published last week were apparently incorrect. The list should have read as follows:

The present committee consists of: Chris Sulley (Chair), Kathryn Seddon’s (Secretary), Sharon Dyson (Treasurer) assisted by committee members, Frank Bradley, Paula Graham, Mavis Bradley, and Charmaine Perry.

Two vacancies still exist on the committee, so if you can spare a few hours per month and have any suggestions or ideas that may benefit the group please come forward. Contact Chairman Chris Sulley at chair@suttonvillagehall.net

With your help we can improve village facilities for both young and old.

FRIENDS OF DANESHILL LAKES: Great excitement recently at Daneshill Lakes nature reserve near Torworth, with the sighting of two oystercatcher chicks on the main island of the main lake. If visitors fail to see them at first they will no doubt hear the parents loud peeping calls.
